Glasgow
blue hour today
Blue hour in Glasgow is the short, cool-toned window when the sun sits just below the horizon and the sky glows deep blue — prized for cityscapes and waterfronts. Below are today's blue hour, golden hour and sunset times.
At this latitude, summer brings extraordinarily long twilight — golden hour can stretch for two hours or more, and on midsummer nights blue hour barely fades into true night. Plan for "midnight sun" mood.
